Hey! Good morning sir

Perfect transition song!

I think i enjoy the transition to your show better without the name song. And i like the matching style from Abnormality!!

i just think there is something a bit grating about the style of that name song ;']

now this here song, is radical

This song is amazing

I match the opening and then let people know it’s me.

I skipped my intro today actually since it’s not my usual time

Nick, I agree

i think you need to do a funny remix of the name song, like slow it down to weird tempo or add crazy overdubs with autotune. Spruce it up!!

Hello hello happy Friday all

i think its just a kind of sonic corn that doesnt work for my own ears. ;']

Uno, that’s my fave part about it. It gets mixed reviews, luckily it is short

Uno, I don’t have the tech skills for that. I wish.

Hi Brian

Love the guy that sings your name over and over song! Every time!

Skipped him for the sub, but he makes an appearance in the second hour singing about another town not named Princeton

Hi TAndy, thanks Dave

Yes! Look forward!

When I know who exactly is before or after me I usually try for a transition for their listeners.

i will bow to group consensus. I adore corn, i guess everyone has dif styles of corn they prefer to digest

All opinions are welcome on this topic. I know that song has different camps.

Classic!

I have a few more older tunes than usual to mix it up

Young Hooky in the New Order pic heh

Titus A! Jerz Strong!

Good lineup on that poster

I try to match the photo to the time period

that does look like an interesting line-up. Protomartyr played Underground Arts last year; it was memorable.

Sounding good, DJ Tobias 👍

Hi Christine, yes that line up looks promising

@ John Tobias (host) Great show today, and the station break just now with the archival recordings of radio critics and inventors decrying the state of the medium in their time was just PRICELESS! :-)) Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose ...

We have excellent promo makers around here to choose from. One of my faves is coming up around 11:40

Edison, NJ 💡 represent

Edison! Let there be light!

I hope we had someone driving through Edison at the right moment

.... it's a twp

A twprb!

NJ Transit next stop is Edison ...

Timing just off

Lovely selections so far. Unfortunately it's time for me to rest. See you guys later!

Check out the snippets later on our schedule. Hope to see you next Wednesday

Goodnight, TAndy

Next Wednesday is a maybe! Hoping I can though :)

Thanks Christine, have a good day 😁

Juliana!

I had Blake Babies last show and now this

Yeah that's right . Enjoyed the Blake Babies last time

@ John Tobias (host) I'll be extra attentive for the 11:40 station break, thanks! I'm going on memory about this, but ... I recall reading that when radio starting taking off as a national commercial medium, the then-U.S. President (Harding? Coolidge? Hoover?) opposed commercial spots, advocating only the simple statement "[Name of sponsor] -- we would be happy for your commerce."

Songhoy Blues 💙💙💙 yesss

Actually ... maybe that wasn't such a bad idea after all!

All commercial spots should just be "Thanks Cinco! "

Yes, to all below.

Gotta be the Chats!

They are in America now, I think

This promo

Princeton: where the tattoo ink never runs dry...

Love this station ID!

Makes me laugh every time

@ John Tobias (host) YES! There IS still such a place ...

Yup

Linda Lindas!✨ I was out of the room and didn't hear your entire mic break and you may have already announced this @DJ Tobias, but they will be in Philly with Japanese Breakfast on 7/21.

Great show John! Love this new Rolling BCF album:)

Thanks Richard

Christine, news to me thanks. I’ll add it when we get closer in time.

They will be playing The Foundry (upstairs space at The Fillmore). Thanks for playing them!

Liking this Aldous lp!

I only know this track so far

Young people with loud guitars - count me in

So many diff voices /singing styles on 1 lp!

Her lp from 4 yrs ago or so "Designer " is good too. Totally different

Something to look forward to

What a cool line-up; thank you DJ Tobias! These two hours did go fast.

I try

Yah her latest lp " Warm Chris" came out in March. Whole thing is worth a listen

Good to know.

Jerry Gordon is on deck.

@ John Tobias (host) Thanks, John

I’ll be back Wednesday at this time slot

Thanks for tuning Rich and the masses everywhere
